4The' Canadiian Stateosman, BOWMAnville, Julie 14. 1971 EDITOe"RIAL -COMMENT Father's Day: How It Ail Began The Bible doe-sn't ýsay what Eve gave to Adam on Father's Day but itý could very well have been a present to, briîng pleasure and r.elaxation to the woLrld's first dad, Tiîmes haveni't chjanged that much antd while four ililioni fathers across CaýnadIa wait eagerly for June 20 to open t'heir presents, the chances are that the traditional gîft of cigars will bring the broadest smile of satisfaction. While the Americans regard George Washington as "iFather of his Country", Julius Caesar really deserves the titie. àFathera is taken from the name given to Roman senators - "patres". Father's -Day is ain American idea, f'irst celebrated in Spokane (Washing- ton) in 1910. Mrs, John Dodd wished to honor her father, William Smart, who had raised six motherless chîldrer- She sensed the occasion as a way to cail attention to the multiple role of a father as, husband, dad and breadwin- ner. A letter she wrote to the Spokane Ministers Alliance wvas4,avorably receiv- ed. The YMCA then brought it to the attention of President Woodrow Wilson who had a Father's Day button pressed in the White, House in 1916. Eight years later president Calvin Coolidge recommended national observ- ance of the event. Although Father's Day has neyer had the same impact as Mother's Day -for obvious sentimental reasons - it has nevertheless become widely popu-_ lar. as a meane of paying tribute to the hardworking -man-Qf-the-house. 992 Rîtson Rd.

William Overy. Ed's note: You may think it's the final word, but somehow we doubt it. The Province of Ontario and the several states bordering the Great Lakes on the American side will jain in the' gigamtic cleanup. It was estimated that improving sewage treatment facilities on the Ontario side alone would prob- ably cost $500,000,000. The Amnenicans are expected to spend ten times that amount, mostly because they have seven tîmes as many people living on their side as compared ta the Cânadian side, but alsa in many respects their present faciities are not as good as those on aur As part of the' agrýeemeLnt the' Cana- dian authorities uindertook ta compflete pollution control programs in the' Cana- dian portion of the basin by 1975.

There are gifts in fancy wrappinigs, ta be ipped open without even lookïing ta set' whom they are fnam. There is cake and candles and ice cream, and a general feeling that you, at least for a day, are Number Ont'. As hIfe tumbles along, ever mort' rapidly, some birthdays are highlights. 1A boy ov rf thîrteen is about six yeans aider, at least in bis status feeling, than a "littie boy" of twelve, A haydenish girl of fifteen is five yeans younger than a "yaung lady" of sixteen. Seventeen is a special age. You are looking back witb ccorn on sixteen and looking fonward with licking lips ta eighteen. Eighteen is a trem'endous bannier am ta crash through. For bath sexes, it r means you can now get in ta cee dirty movies without borrowing somt'body's 1.D. card. In some depraved aneas, such Sas Alberta, I believe, it means you can drink legally. Twenty-one used ta be tht' climax ofa ahbrthdays. It was tht' "I've gat tht' k4ey of tht' door, neyer heen twenty-one before",sont of thing. It meant you couid vote and DRINK. But with tht' sophis-1 ticated youtb of today, tht' 21st bintb- day bas .become rather a ho-hunm affair. Alter that, most crucial birthdays were less than inspiring, some of tbem occasions for deep soul-searc hing, if noti tears. At least for women. Men have always taken bîrthdays a littie 'morei casually. But most women look forward tej thein thintietb binthday with anything1 but- anticipation.

Strangely enough,j after a couple aI days aI claiming1 they're over tht' bil, thiey turn righti back into tht' came wome n they wvere( before the' binthday. Ah, you sly devil.

One, thing ýhe had made decan was that only consti- tuitional matters would be dIiscussýed in the tbnee days set aside, and if there wvas any inclination to talk about such matters as the economy and unemploymnent such issues would he set aside for a ftiurth day. Mn. Trudeau was wel] aware in saying that such discussions, would not be very producive if tbey fell one day in advance of Fin- ance Minister Bensons long awaited budget and bis an- nouncement on tax reforms. Mn. Benson bas set June 18 for bis pronouncements. Without tbem the provincial leaders would the talking inf o the wind.
